specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different
gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See "Gas
Conversions" section.
Gas Supply Line
Provide a gas supply line of 3_,,(1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the range
location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in
insufficient gas supply. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can
be 1/2"(1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine
the size and materials used in the system.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas
must be used. Do not use TEFLON ®ttape.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified,
4 to 5 ft (122 to 152.4 cm) long, 1/2"(1.3 cm) or
%" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may be
used for connecting range to the gas supply line.
• A 1/2"(1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to
the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance
pressure regulator.
• Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when
moving the range.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe
fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the range. The rigid
pipe must be level with the range connection. All strains must
be removed from the supply and fuel lines so range will be level
and in line.
Must include a shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff valve.
This valve should be located in the same room but external to
the range opening, such as an adjacent cabinet. It should be in
a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not
block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the range.

Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic igniters in place of
standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the
"LITE" position, the system creates a spark to light the burner. This
sparking continues, as long as the control knob is turned to "LITE."
When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, sparking
occurs and ignites the gas.
Check Operation of Cooktop Burners
Standard Surface Burners
Push in and turn each control knob to the "LITE" position.
The flame should light within 4 seconds. The first time a burner is
lit, it may take longer than 4 seconds to light because of air in the
gas line.
If burners do not light properly:
• Turn cooktop control knob to the "OFF" position.
Check that the range is plugged in. Check that the circuit
breaker has not tripped or the household fuse has not blown.
Check that the gas shutoff valves are set to the "open"
position.
Check that burner caps are properly positioned on burner
bases.
Repeat start-up. If a burner does not light at this point, turn the
control knobs to the "OFF" position and contact your dealer or
authorized service company for assistance.
Adjust Flame Height
Adjust the height of top burner flames. The cooktop "low" burner
flame should be a steady blue flame approximately 1¼,,(0.64 cm)
